About
Arami:
Arami
was born in Cannes on the French Riviera
in 1991. She was 5 years old when she
started playing the Paraguay Harp after
her grandfather gave her one as a gift.
Arami has strong connections to the
Paraguayan Harp, as her mother is from
Paraguay. From an early age, she introduced
Arami to the music of her homeland
which details the legends and customs
of the Guarani People of Paraguay.
Arami feels so strongly about this
connection that her first professional
CD was recorded in Asunción, Paraguay. Arami´s talent has taken her
to perform in Chilean, Paraguayan, American and
Spanish Television Programs, such as "Sabado Gigante"
from Don Francisco and the "Veo Veo Internacional"
Festival, where she was invited to Alicante, Spain
to represent Paraguay among the world's most talented
young artists of 14 countries. She performed the
famous Parajo Chogui that was televised live to
more than 88 million viewers on five continents.
At 11 years old, Arami recorded her first CD Revelación
that includes 11 melodies from a mix of classical
Paraguayan folk and international themes. Arami
teaches as well the Paraguayan Harp to children
from 6 to 11 years old. She lives with her family
in Miami. For more information visit Arami´s
